GNOME

A number of users complained that in 2.18 the keyboard
indicator does not show the short layout names properly
after the GNOME session restart – it shows internal XKB
identifiers instead. Now I know why.
DBUS session envvar avialable to bonobo-activation-server
points to the previous (non-existent) session. The bug is
half year old :///

GNOME

2.18 is out. Great. Finally, libgnomekbd has all GNOME
keyboard-related libraries consolidated and separately
managed – so supporting
stable series should be easier for me. I just wonder when
libgnomekdb is going to get its own bugzilla entry
?

Now, with GSoC about to fire – any students who’d want to
improve keyboard capplet and make it usable?

Freedesktop.org won – they got my hackergotchi installed
first. p.g.o still does not have it.

Nouveau@Ubuntu

Ubuntu clams to support OSS nVidia driver. Is anybody
volunteering to provide snapshot debs for feisty? Or at
least some howto similar to this
one for Fedora
.

Planetarium

… And I wonder, which of the two: planet.gnome.org or
planet.freedesktop.org would first put my (corresponding)
hackergotchi in place?..

Ubuntu

Upgrade of my laptop to Feisty (Herd 5, of course) passed
rather smoothly. I just wonder – is there any chance they
release PowerPC ISO? Or – is Ubuntu’s PPC support dropped to
the point where there will be no PPC ISOs any more?
